![]() This is the first British book-length critique of Darwinism which has substantial interaction with the work of proponents of Intelligent Design, such as William Dembski, Michael Behe and Phillip Johnson, by someone who is not a young earth creationist. Writing in an informal and personal style, Dr Anthony Latham outlines a broad range of scientific problems for Darwinism, and the idea that life and the universe could be due to purposeless natural processes.
This book is “for anyone who genuinely wants another scientific view on nature.” The author approaches the topic from a Christian viewpoint, but his arguments come from science, not from the Bible. Cambridge academics Simon Conway Morris and Denis Alexander read through sections of the draft manuscript. A wide range of topics are covered, from the fine-tuning of the universe, through problems in the origin of life, to the short-comings of natural selection. There is a particular focus on the work of Richard Dawkins, with a chapter by chapter critique of his book "The Blind Watchmaker." This book is easy to read; the chapters are short, and helpfully divided by sub-headings. This is an excellent introduction to the scientific problems of Darwinism.
